gpilot, gpilot-applet or pilot-link not working
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:58 EST
Description of problem: gpilot and gpilot-applet not working. When applet is added to panel, it always stays red. Also /dev/pilot link is not created. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pilot-link-0.12.1-4.fc7 gnome-pilot-2.0.15-3.fc7 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add gpilot applet 2. Connect palm pilot 3. try to sync Actual results: dmesg shows that device is connected, it creates ttyUSB140 and ttyUSB141, but no pilot link. Pointing it to ttyUSB14x freezes applet. Expected results: pilot and computer get synchronized. Additional info:
Which version of palm do you use?
I am using Palm TX.
I am also using a Palm TX, and running pilot-xfer -l -p /dev/ttyUSB149 also hangs. This is still happening for the pilot-link-0.12.1-5.fc7 package.
I have gotten pilot-xfer -l to work (and also syncing with jpilot works now, so I am guessing gpilot should also work). This is with kernel 2.6.20-1.3017.fc7. I had to add the following line in a file called /etc/udev/rules.d/10-visor.rules BUS=="usb", SYSFS{product}=="Palm Handheld*", KERNEL=="ttyUSB[13579]", SYMLINK+="pilot" This line creates the dev/pilot symlink when the palm pilot gets inserted.

This also (partially) fixed problem for me. Only difference is that I did not have 10-visor.rules file. I add line to 50-udev.rules Now I have problem syncing with evolution. Pilot applet just crashed. I am attached error output from BugBuddy.
As of few days ago, only change I needed to do to make Palm work with evolution is Mads Villadsen fix (adding line BUS=="usb", SYSFS{product}=="Palm Handheld*", KERNEL=="ttyUSB[13579]",SYMLINK+="pilot" to udev rules). Can you please add this?
Please could you try to use pilot-link-0.12.2-1.fc7? It should fix your problem.
Last version of the pilot-link is pilot-link-0.12.1-6.fc7, and this one works if I add udev rule. Is there a place I can get pilot-link-0.12.2-1.fc7 from ?
I think this bug can be closed now. Works here.
